Wen Xin's reaction made Mu Bei vaguely realize that he might have really touched someone's sore spot, which was naturally not what he wanted. The original tit-for-tat momentum disappeared in an instant, and there was a hint of apology in his eyes.
Mu Bei was being subtle, but Fan Wuguo was different. He walked directly in front of Wei Tingyu and stared at his legs. "Is your leg incurable, or is your sickly body not allowing treatment?"
Wei Tingyu looked at Fan Wuguo very coldly, with no intention of answering.
Fan Wuguo shrugged nonchalantly, "I believe in my sister's medical skills. In your case, it's probably because your body doesn't allow it."
Wei Tingyu didn't want to talk to him, so he lowered his eyelids, looking a little tired.
Young Master Fan still has some sense after all. Although his teacher likes to find fault with Wei Tingyu, as if to see him change his face, Wei Tingyu is different to him after all. He is probably his only friend. Although he likes to expose his shortcomings and poke at his sore spots, and looks lawless and unforgiving, he really has no malice towards Wei Tingyu in his heart.
"Wei Tingyu, I'm telling you to just take a rest if you can't hold on any longer. How can you help me like this? Or are you doing this on purpose to make me feel bad? I'm telling you that you're a grown man, but you have a lot on your mind."
This time, Wei Tingyu didn't even raise his eyelids.
However, he is the only one who can be so "arrogant" to the young master and still remain safe and sound.
Wen Xin had just pushed him around and walked less than ten feet away when Xiao Cao came straight towards him.
When he saw Xiao Cao, Wei Tingyu's expression softened in an instant, "Xuan'er."
The speed of changing faces was breathtaking.
Xiao Cao seemed to be relieved. "I was busy and didn't pay attention to you. I thought you were resting, but you weren't. The maid said you were in the small garden, but I didn't see you." Xiao Cao took his pulse and lifted the thin blanket on his legs. "I don't have much time to spend with you today. You'd better be more self-conscious. - You should bring Hua Yu with you, or Mother Zhou can also."
As for the people around Wei Tingyu, their opinions are highly unified on the matter of his health. It was not the case in the past, no one could dissuade him from doing what he wanted to do. But it is different now. With Xiao Cao suppressing him, he is like a tiger with its claws pulled out.
Although the deterrent effect on the people around him is still there, once it comes to his body, Xiaocao is like a death-proof gold medal to Huayu. Anyway, if she talks about Xiaocao, Huayu will be ready to complain if the master keeps talking. What can Wei Tingyu do to her? He can't. As a person who serves him, Mother Zhou is like an elder, and he will listen to her more or less.
"It's just that I'm in good spirits today, and I've rested well in recent days. If you feel unwell, I will go and rest. Xuan'er, don't worry." Rather than saying that Xiaocao still lost "trust" in him, it's better to say that she cares too much about him. Don't argue or debate, just "admit your mistake" quickly.
"It's best if you know your limits."
Wei Tingyu was of course telling the truth. After all, Xuan'er knew his physical condition better than he did, and she exposed his lies as soon as they came out of his mouth.
Then, Xiao Cao seemed to have just noticed the two "big shots" present, and squatted down, "Prince, Young Master."
"Sister, you are really embarrassing me by doing this." Fan Wuguo's tone was a little aggrieved and dissatisfied, "It's bad enough that you only have Wei Tingyu in your heart and eyes, but you are so polite and distant to me. I'm really angry."
Xiao Cao has always regarded Fan Wuguo as a rebellious child in his middle school years. Sometimes he is a little willful, but this is all tolerable. "Etiquette cannot be abolished."
Fan Wuguo looked defeated by Xiao Cao, "Okay, okay, you have the final say." Then he stepped forward, pushed Wen Xin away, and stood behind Wei Tingyu's wheelchair, "Leave Wei Tingyu to me, you can focus on your own things, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him, if there is any problem, you can ask me."
"I won't bother you, young master. If you feel bored, you can go with us when we welcome the bride later. After all, everyone in the imperial city knows about the talent of the fourth young master. Even if he marries the daughter of Mr. Meng, I'm sure it won't be a problem for him. I'm afraid the Meng family will take an unconventional approach, so they need help from other people. If you go, you may be able to lend a hand."
When the young master heard this, he really became interested. Not to mention helping someone to welcome a bride, he rarely even attended a wedding banquet. He had little interest in those lively and festive occasions, and they didn't affect him at all. But now the feeling was completely different, and he was really eager to try. What was the difference between this wedding and the previous ones? The only difference was the people.
"Wedding, huh? Okay, it's a piece of cake."
Seeing this, Xiaocao couldn't help but feel a little worried. It would be bad if instead of welcoming the bride properly, this person might cause some trouble.
"Don't worry, Xuan'er. The young master just comes out a little late occasionally. Nothing will go wrong with the business."
Fan Wuguo also made the promise, but he lowered his head to glance at Wei Tingyu. Was he speaking for him or trying to flatter him
"Then I'll trouble you, young master." Xiaocao said.
Fan Wuguo looked at her resentfully like a young wife. She was very close to Wei Tingyu, so did she have to be so polite to him
Xiaocao found it funny, but didn't say much.
Mu Bei remained quiet from beginning to end until Xiaocao said goodbye to everyone present and left. Although his eyes were on Xiaocao most of the time, he did not reveal much strange emotion. At least, except for those who knew the truth, no one could see that he treated Xiaocao differently. However, for someone like Mu Bei, it was not difficult to hide his emotions. After all, on the battlefield, he had to be the strongest and calmest one and not be easily swayed by emotions.
Wei Tingyu glanced at Mu Bei vaguely and left.
However, his appearance and then his departure, apart from the fact that Xiao Cao happened to come over, his visit was somewhat puzzling. Was he here for King Dingbei? Was there a feud between the two? All of this made people confused.
However, it is said that it was because of the pressure from Prince Dun that the Wen family agreed to the marriage with the Pingyang Marquis's Mansion. For this reason, the Wen family deliberately postponed the wedding date indefinitely, as if they were deliberately trying to delay the death of the Prince of Wei. Logically, the Wen family should be quite disgusted with the Prince of Wei, but the actual situation does not seem to be the case.
Not to mention that Fourth Miss Wenren was often seen going in and out of Marquis Pingyang's Mansion to treat Wei Tingyu, just the way the two of them were interacting just now clearly revealed a certain intimacy. It would be understandable to say that Fourth Miss Wenren treated Wei Tingyu out of medical ethics, but this intimacy was really puzzling
Is there a reason that they don't know about, or is it that the fourth Miss Wenren's attitude towards patients is just like this, causing them to misunderstand
If you can't figure it out, just forget about it. This matter has nothing to do with them in essence.
After that, there were also cases where the gifts were sent but did not arrive. Among them, there was not only Madam Zhen and her family's parents, but also Prince Heng's Mansion. The gifts from Prince Heng's Mansion were particularly heavy.
Because it was sent over openly, many people knew about it, so they looked at the Wenren family with a strange look in their eyes. What was going on? Did the Wenren family hook up with Prince Heng, or did Prince Heng do it on purpose
Wenren Taibo's brows were furrowed, with a hint of worry in his eyes, but this emotion did not last long. A family came from the backyard and whispered a few words in his ear, and Wenren Taibo's brows relaxed.
However, even so, there was a hint of sarcasm in Wenren Taibo's eyes. This King Heng was accustomed to using these little tricks.
It was just that Concubine Kou was pregnant, and the people who sent the gifts said that it was all natural.
In ordinary families, if an incurable disease is cured, the doctor may be simply thanked verbally. However, this matter is not the case in the upper class circles. Many things may be involved. Therefore, the gesture of gratitude is often large, and it also means to establish a good relationship.
But it's inevitable that Prince Heng's behavior makes people feel a little disgusted.
It was the fourth daughter of the Wenren family who cured your concubine and made her pregnant. No matter what your intention was, you should express your gratitude and send a thank-you gift. The Wenren family was not afraid to accept it. But you chose to do it today, in front of so many people, and said it vaguely, making people mistakenly think that the Wenren family was standing on the boat of King Heng. Although this is not true, you must know that sometimes, if you spread it too much, it will become true. Even if it cannot come true, as long as some people doubt it and the Wenren family will not be used by others again, it will be a profit.
Of course, even if the truth were known to outsiders, Prince Heng could easily shirk responsibility, saying that his concubine was not yet pregnant and it was not appropriate to make it public, so he concealed it and had no other intentions. He pretended to be so innocent that others naturally could do nothing about him and at most would secretly call him shameless.
But what if it succeeds
Speaking of which, Prince Heng has been very busy recently, but he is still thinking about these little things, which really makes it difficult for him.
With such a previous record, it didn't seem like a big deal when Zhang Junliang later brought Wen Renxiang and gifts to the Wen family's house in a high-profile manner. After all, Wen Renxiang was still the Wen family's daughter, and she had not severed her ties with the Wen family, so it was only right for her to come back.
So, they just did what they had to do, without causing any waves.
The time was almost up, and the wedding procession went out of the gate of the Wenren House to welcome the bride.
Just as they were about to leave, Xiaocao encountered something. Someone from the Song family came and said that Wu Yaru had a stomachache and bleeding after taking the pregnancy-preserving medicine prescribed by her. Wu Yaru had a premature birth and the situation was extremely critical.
Xiaocao frowned. If she had just taken the pregnancy-preserving medicine she prescribed, such a thing would never have happened.
But no matter what the reason is, since I think it's a problem with the medicine she prescribed, I have to go there.
As the head of the family, Han naturally had no right to interfere. She believed her daughter and decided that it was Wu Yaru or the Song family who was looking for trouble. They were just taking this opportunity to ask for benefits from the Wen family. In order to protect Xuan'er's reputation, they would have to satisfy their big mouths. It was a nice thought, but don't ask if they had the appetite. They couldn't even open their mouths! Han's eyes flashed with ruthlessness...
Wei Tingyu rushed over and said, "Let me go with Xuan'er."
Han nodded and agreed. After all, she really couldn't leave now. However, she still planned to ask Du from the second house for help.
When Mrs. Du got the news and knew the whole story, she nodded and agreed without hesitation.
Xiaocao knows her own limitations and can handle professional issues, but other matters are better left to others.
The group quietly left from the back without causing any disturbance in the mansion.
The Song family was sensible after all, and they sent people over in private without making a big fuss. If they had really messed up such a good marriage, there would be no need to say anything. I'm afraid they would want to crush the Song family to death.
When I arrived at the Song family's house, I felt a dead silence that made me feel depressed and my heart started beating wildly.
Rushing in, the eldest lady of the Song family, Wu Yaru's mother-in-law, who had been crying uncontrollably, saw Xiaocao and the others and rushed over like crazy, "What kind of miracle doctor is this? He's obviously a murderer. Give me back my grandson, give me back my grandson—"
Xiaocao has a lot of people on his side, so this woman naturally can't hurt Xiaocao at all.
Xiao Cao was too lazy to pay attention to her. Seeing a ball wrapped casually and placed on the ground, she knew what it was without thinking. The child was born, but it was a stillbirth.
Xiaocao took two steps forward, lifted the lid and took a look, confirming that the person was indeed dead and could not be saved.
But where are the adults? There was no movement in the delivery room.
In Xiaocao's previous life, when she encountered danger and had to choose between two options, the hospital would always choose to save the adult, and would not ask the family members whether to save the adult or the child. Naturally, in this life, Xiaocao has encountered such a crisis before, but in the end, both the adult and the child were safe. Look at the Song family, the child died, and the adults in the house didn't care
The maid brought out a basin of blood from the room. Xiaocao went straight in without saying a word. No one could stop her with such momentum.
In the room, Wu Yaru was bleeding heavily. There was no doctor, only the midwife, who was trembling with hands and feet as if she wanted to stop the bleeding for Wu Yaru. She was holding a large piece of red-dyed cloth in her hand. Could this stop the bleeding
Xiaocao lifted the person up and saw Wu Yaru's condition. He tore off Wu Yaru's clothes and used a silver needle to stop the bleeding. There was almost an afterimage under his hand. The silver needle fell, but the hand did not stop and pressed several acupoints on her body.
Wu Yaru, who had originally fainted, hummed and seemed to have regained some consciousness. However, this was not enough. Xiaocao kept moving, one action after another, leaving the people around him stunned.
Soon, Wu Yaru woke up...
